5 PEEP Workout: 5/Wk 3 Get Out Work Out





PEEPS
It's just 5 Peeps. They feel weightless, look pretty, melt in your mouth....

Wait. You said melt in your mouth? Know why?

5 Peeps has 140 calories in them and weighs about 42g. (And if you watched the 60 Minutes video, you have a better understanding that it's not the CALORIES that COUNT, but WHAT the calories are made of that counts.)

Out of that 42grams, 36 of them are carbs. Out of the 36 carbs, 34 grams are sugar with 15 grams being sodium to preserve them. 

(Like they need preserving. What's going to go bad, for Peep's sake??)

So, in celebration of Easter, "Peeps", here's the:

Package O' PEEPs Workout:
